Hello ladies… we’re back!!! Eh wait, there ain’t any ladies out there under the scorching race track (except for GT Queen :P ) Finally I managed to attend another series of the Sepang International Circuit Open Track Day with a few of my friends, and their cars (my Climhazzard ain’t fit for track run, mind you >.> )

The six of us (Kei, Ryo, Zid, Dzul, Khidir, and me) reached there around 2.10pm and the ‘feast’ had just begun. Among all of us, only Kei and me already been here before whereas the rest (including the car owner lol xD ) were their first time here, so no need to mention why Dzul was the first one to open an umbrella on the pitlane and followed by a few more people, until the organizer went ‘red’ upon seeing the umbrellas flopping like a mushroom and screaming out of the mic, telling us to took off the umbrella at once xD

As Kei and Ryo getting restless to get onto the track, we got a Red Light situation. Too bad guys, get your adrenaline in check, and patiently wait for the green light, hahaha =p Anyway, after a few minutes, the green light was signaled, and off we go. By the way, we took turns on who gonna sit on the passenger’s side. We ain’t gonna risk putting the car a lot of deadweight and making the car difficult to handle when approaching corners, mind you.

Well, the day was damn hot. The Shiro Suisei somehow always end up suffered a high oil temperature and need a quick pit stop to cool down the raging engine oil temperature. It even produced smoke when the oil reaching 130 degree Celsius (for God sake). As for me, I’m busy with the task of taking every cars photo that I came across with haha. The rest, too busy enjoying the excitement x)

Actually there were quite a lots of cars that day. It is quite noticeable that there were a lot of first-timers on the track. The main evidences, lots of red light, a few bad accidents, and most importantly, a lot those people don’t understand what it means when a red flag and red light are shown on the track. They just simply ignore it and drove like they own the track >.< The organizer had to stop the race for a while, asked everyone to kill their engine, and gave a lecture >.> Anyway, without wasting any time, a short gallery of what we took that day and a few clips during the run:

After all the adrenalines were pumped and everyone suffers a great deal of dehydration, it was time to head back. Before parting ways, a small pit stop at the Burger King (with an unlimited supply of soft drinks :P ) reminiscing all the experience we had during the whole day on the track. One thing for sure,

Let see, I haven’t done any review for ages! Haha! Oh well, time to make another miracle come back by reviewing one of the drama I recently watched =)

Today’s review is about a drama that was quite popular (later you will know why the drama is an hot item >.> ), which is Hana Yori Dango a.k.a Boys Over Flower (what a gay name, seriously The drama focused on a bimbo a.k.a poor girl (in Japanese term), which enrolled in a super-rich high school, Eitoku Gakuen, which only filled with filthy rich students. The girl, Makino Tsukushi (played by Inoue Mao <3 ), spent the rest of her years ion school by staying low and unnoticed due to afraid to be caught by the school’s weird ceremory/behavior. The central of the trouble, known as F4 a.k.a Flower Four (what the heck with this gay naming -.-), a group of four damn rich ‘bishounens’ (handsome guy in Japanese). They are idolized by the whole school and no one dare to go against them.

The member of F4, the playboy, Nishikado Soujiro (by Matsuda Shota)a heir of a tea ceremony school, Mimasaka Akira (by Abe Tsuyoshi) a madam killer whom parents had relation with the underground. Next, the mysterious and quiet Hanazawa Rui (by Oguri Shun), and the leader himself, Domyoji Tsukasa (by Matsumoto Jun), the son and heir of the biggest finance group.

The whole story started when Tsukushi tried to protect her friend from receiving punishment due to ‘Red Notice’. Due to the action, she instead received the ‘Red Notice’ shortly after that. She retaliates in the final moment and declared war with the F4 (with a BANG :P ), which no one have ever done. That was the turn point for the whole story began.

My own opinion on this series, it is seriously pissing me off >.< Why you asked me? This is because the dumb Tsukushi and Tsukasa >.< Thanks to their characteristics, I felt like punching them most of the time >.< Tsukushi, a naïve girl that always jumped to conclusion and only think for the worst case scenario. Tsukasa, a thick-headed, arrogant, and also always jumped to conclusion without even thinking. One more to boot, his Japanese grammar skills will laugh your asses off from the chair >.>

Hana Yori Dango had a season 2 and also a movie. I watched them all, but my summary about the others are pretty much less the same as the above paragraph. But actually the story flow itself was quite interesting. The background soundtrack also is a plus.

In the end, I would recommend everyone to watch this series. It might piss you off (both Tsukasa and Tsukushi’s characteristics), but I bet you will want to know what will happen in the end. I’m sorry to disappoint, but for me, the ending was a little bit… bleak? :P I can give it 7/10 though… Anyway, do try a first few episodes and see whether you will like it or not =p

As been promised, today’s entry I shall tell you guys about my new hobby that I picked up recently. Some might already guessed correctly and some might not (ah hell, I bet most of them can guess correctly lol). Yes, presenting my new hobby, Gunpla a.k.a Gundam Plastic Model :D (go wiki it if you still have no clue what it is >.> )

Honestly, I had to blame one of my friend that suddenly bought a gundam model even though he never seen any of the gundam series before >.< Well, he straight bought the Master Grade of Zeta Gundam (I think it is a mistake for a beginner to direct buy a Master Grade .> So basically his Zeta gundam is just a gigantic standing still gundam xD

Yes, this gundam was featured in Gundam Seed Destiny where been piloted by our emo kid, Shinn Asuka =p This is the one of the three add-ons that can be equipped to Impulse Gundam. The other two would be Sword Impulse (somehow I regretted not buying this one, lol) and Blast Impulse. Nothing much to say really about my first gunplay job. I was pretty much noob since I also screw up cutting the parts (but luckily my gundam still can move freely >.> ). It took me 5 to 6 hours to complete it. It might seem a bit fast because I didn’t really care much about the detailing, just simply cut and assemble >.> Below are some of the gimmick action photos that I took :

Overall, it is a nice gundam model to have in a collection. It is just the primary weapon is the rifle is a bit boring (yea it comes with 2 beam sabers, but just a plain beam sabers >.>). The difficulty is not that high, I can say around medium-easy to assemble it. Happy Gunpla-ing =)

Long time we never met, my readers out there. I know, some screaming at me why I didn’t update my blog for quite some time already like kit*cough*leen :p Anyway, the reason I haven’t been updating my blog because I was too busy with my work, I end up working alone as the Network Engineer as the other guy went pursuing his Degree v.v So in the end, left me alone doing work non-stop for the last two months x.x

Thanks to myself for successfully finding a new person to fill in the empty seat, now I can rest a bit. My new colleague is my own friend, kitsuna =p But he will be working part time until June as he is now on semester break. Oh well, as long as I got someone to dump my overweight responsibilities to someone, good enough =p

In a way, there haven’t been much an update (extremely busy after all, plus don’t even have free time to open own blog >.> ) We start our day by a tragedy:

Yes, some idiot driver hit my Climhazzard rear bumper :-@ Stupid driver don’t know how to reverse car during going out from parking >.< WES 569, the car number plate, a light gold color (or was it silver…) Honda. Feel free to whack his car if you see it on the road >.>

I went to take a peek at Proton’s new Exora, their first ever MPV (Multi Purpose Vehicle). Surprisingly, the interior design was quite nice, but nevertheless, don’t like much about the interior. Nowadays Proton, all engine bay design and positioning are just the same, no variety at all >.<

Looks like Shiro Suisei have a new second hand shoes =p

Smaller tires than usual so we can initiate drifting easily (damn dangerous during touge if like this @_@)

Last, but not the least, I have a new hobby. What is that? We’ll find out soon enough =p

P/s: I think I’ll be starting back my anime and jdrama review soon enough, if got time xD
